from Mailman import Mailbox

mid = 'the message Id you're looking for'
fp = open('/path/to/list_name.mbox')
mb = Mailbox.Mailbox(fp)
msgs = []
for msg in mb:
    refs = msg.get_all('references')
        for ref in refs:
            if ref.find(mid) >= 0:
                msgs.append(msg)
                break

# At this point, msgs contains a list of email.Message.Message objects #
that contain 'the message Id you're looking for' in their References:
# Sending them is left as an exercise for the reader.
